Sixgun,

I will check the shopping cart, but in the meantime feel free to call and order: 254-622-2245

Newbie,

The 4.5 gun is lighter and shorter. It handles more like a limited gun. It shoots a little flatter because to make major with the shorter barrel you use more powder and it works the comp better.

There is a good article about the principal here

Some people like the 5.0 gun because they want more weight to dampen the recoil implulse and they don't mind the extra swing weight. Also the 5.0 is $400 cheaper.

If your like me time is important. A few weeks ago I decided to build an open gun. I posted a message on the forums that I needed a STI short block kit, Bob messaged me and told me to call him. I called him on a holiday (July 4, a sunday) and he was in the shop working. We went through what I wanted and it was in my hands by the next wednesday, he even cut serrations in the slide and fit the barrel for no extra charge. I had the full gun finished 2 weeks later. Point is Bob will get you what you want as fast as he can.

Got a picture of the SC Open 4.5:

Nice gun Bob, I somehow need to convince my wife why I need a new gun. I would love to get Bobs limited gun.

[ducman]

Well, I've ordered my Pro Sx! This is going to be a serious exercise in delayed gratification. Bob and his wife Ingi very plesant to speak with. Bob was super nice in helping me lay out the plans and walk me through the process. He was very patient and not pushy at all. He just answered my questions and gave me recomendations (which I pretty much followed to a T).
Now I need to find a decent used open gun to play with in the mean time. Also gotta get a Dillon press and learn how to load brass (the most intimidating thing in IPSC).

Know what your saying Ducman, both Bob and Ingi are awesome people to deal with. I will be getting my SC Limited in the middle of this month and have my custom Limited and Pro Sx on order with a delivery date of May next year. The wait is killing me . I'm surprised both Bob and Ingi still talk to me I must have sent a thousand mails asking all kinds of questions and every single one has been answered.

We will be set up as a vendor at Area 3. Come see us!!

[Newbie]

Don't even go there Bob, I'd be on a plane in a flash... BTW - Where is Area 3???

P.S. I have seen blast shield's on C-more mounts, are they needed on your line of pistols?

[uscbigdawg]

Newbie,

Columbia, Missouri for Area 3.

Bob - Zero problems with the Limited gun since I got it. Not one jam, misfeed, etc. You rule!

[Newbie]

Thanks Rich, just found it on the USPSA website Sad news is I have the cheeseland IDPA State Championship in La Crosse this coming weekend

[Brazos Custom]

Rich - glad to hear it
Dave - no need for a blast shield on my guns, blast is directed away from the C-More

Hallo Mr. Londrigan,
I´ve recently purchased your tuned extractor (.38/9mm/.40) through speedshooter.com - I want to use it on my STI Edge in .40 S&W. But during installation a problem occured. It seams as if there is not enough clearance between the hook and the breach face so that the new round is not able to go under the extractor. What can I do to fix this problem? Maybe filling a bit of the hook????
Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Marijan

[Brazos Custom]

Take material off the back of the notch on the extractor that the firing pin stop goes into. This will allow the extractor to move forward a little. You want to have approx. 0.062 clearance between the hook and the breechface.

[uscbigdawg]

Hi Bob,

Can I order one of your slides with a 9mm breechface?

Too, are the slide rackers that you carry available for purchase?

Thanks,

Rich

[mloch]

Mr. Londrigan, I just want to let you know that everything runs fine now after taking some material off the back of the notch. Thank you very much for your service. Much appreciated.

Best regards,

Marijan

[Brazos Custom]

Rich,

I use STI slides and they only come in 38 super; they work fine for 9mm. We don't have a slide racker at this time. I am working on something and should have it out in about a month.

Marijan,

Glad I could help!!

[cz75ipsc]

I read on your site that you don't sell guns to Europe? Say it ain't so...

[Brazos Custom]

We don't have an export license (not enough demand yet). Rene at Speed Shooter's and Frank Garcia usually handle our exports. You might try them.

We do have a few guns out and about in Germany, Netherlands Antilles, Bolivia, Ecuador, Norway, Brazil, and Argentina. Working on others.

[jnshapiro]

I'm starting to think about an Open class gun. Any chance I can get one of these things in CA?

Thanks,

[Brazos Custom]

I don't think you will be able to find an F.F.L. in CA that can accept shipment. Maybe some of the CA residents can chime in with some insight into the CA laws.

[Rob Boudrie]

CA requires a gun sold be on their list which involves lab testing, forefeiture of a sample gun to the crown, and a $200 per gun per model annual listing fee. Your best bet is to buy a gun "on the list" as the basis for your project, and then have it built Hopefully, gunsmiths will understand why you need to supply the gun rather than purchase it from them.

Also, the CA mag granfathering only covers > 10 round mags *personally owned" prior to the CA ban, and implies a higher standard of proof of such status than the federal law (which has as exmplict pre-ba unless marked or proven otherwise assumption in the law). CA is the kind of place one would expect to prosecute technical violations just to nail a gun owner, so caution is the order of the day.

[Brazos Custom]

We will be set up at the Nationals as a vendor. We will be set up Sunday before the match if you need anything, come see us.

p.s. We will have normal (high) capacity mags available for sale on Tuesday the 14th at the match. Come celebrate the sunset with us.

[Rufus The Bum]

Hi Bob. Would an IDPA legal pistol from you run about the same as one of your Semi-Custom Limited Pistols?

[Brazos Custom]

Rufus,

Give me a call and spec out what you want and I can give you a price.
